Thanks for that. Ive come across Thacker before. Dabbling in Cioran at the moment. Woodard looks great. Think I heard him mentioned in an interview recently, the name's familiar: http://uwo.academia.edu/BenWoodard

Ive found a few rebuttals to TCATHR online. Nothing even remotely convincing. Any ideas there?

Nothing springs to mind, other than faith - in quaint little things like life. Brassier's work on naming and picturing (via Sellars) is, to me, a very slightly different more complex and nuanced angle, not in any way a rebuttal though.
